Mafia: The Old Country’s PS5 DLC Will Expand on Sicily’s Scope
Hangar 13 has revealed that Man of Honor, the upcoming DLC for Mafia: The Old Country, will significantly expand the game's Free Ride open-world activities on PS5. The developer is keeping the story missions, which feature Mafia: Definitive Edition's Ennio Salieri, under wraps for now, but has shown off a substantial amount of new sandbox content being added to Sicily.
The expansion adds numerous new contracts with varied gameplay scenarios, including one requiring players to defend a car being towed by a truck, alongside new weapons such as a 10-round shotgun, an explosive-round rifle, and throwing knives capable of taking out multiple enemies. Man of Honor is due for release on 14th August, though the accompanying story content is expected to be fairly brief rather than a lengthy addition.
In short
- Mafia: The Old Country's Man of Honor DLC adds major new Free Ride content
- New weapons include a 10-round shotgun and explosive rifle rounds
- DLC releases 14th August; story length expected to be modest
Explained simply
Mafia: The Old Country is a crime action game set in Sicily, with players exploring the world and taking part in missions. Its Free Ride mode lets players roam and try activities outside the main story.
Hangar 13, the game’s developer, is adding Man of Honor as downloadable content (DLC), meaning extra content players can get for the game. The Mafia series follows organised crime groups, and Ennio Salieri, a character from Mafia: Definitive Edition, is part of the new story missions. The expansion also adds optional contracts, weapons and other activities to Sicily.
The DLC is designed to broaden what players can do in the game world, while its story provides another link to an earlier entry in the series. Its scope matters to players deciding whether they are looking for extra open-world activities or a substantial new story.
